No. The list spots was just what made me ask about what was happening, as clearly something didn’t add up, as in something else had to drop first, and now we know — it’s spots to use more picks. It’s not complex champ 🤦‍♂️

No I said I left with a grin.. cus I couldn’t blv the balls of it, but all I knew then was it was a key player and love it because it showed me we were prep to risk it all, which I love! But in cold light of day, unless it’s Harley & Walter (which it rly can’t be) even now it’s got my stomach in knots. Didn’t hear Clarry name till the following Monday. Maybe if we didn’t have as many donks as we do here. I’d of shared that it was a player, but I knew I’d it didn’t amount to anything I’d never hear end of it, so I guess ultimately the dazzle donks like adonski & Tremblay win!

Ur such a beautiful, adroit contrarian - nah it was the OTHER news that’d rock the foundation of the AFL, that I then confirmed this morning would be revealed TODAY!!! Mamma Mia 🤦‍♂️

Not confident per se, just what the spec was 2wks ago

Yep. That’s been the talk! I hope you’ll now understand, had I mentioned any sort of specifics, and it fell through - I’d of liked like a the biggest tool alive and been torn apart and had to higher a new name and I’ve been here since day dot basically so wasn’t gonna do that. Oh yeah, and I’d of clearly been the source and burned my real self HARD, that too 🤣😂😇

Nope, we put word out amigo

Anything to say dazzle & co? What was it, 3wks ago? need to see final products, but could either be best thing ever and set us up for a decade OR be looked back on as the dumbest move of all time but seemingly Clarry has made his bed. Unfortunately

I’ll take apologies now.. THIS is what was coming, as paired couple wks back, of which, I confirmed this morning! Picks 2+3 for Oliver & a later pick.

Hate to say I told you all so.. but nah, I just make Things up — Something was brewing and it looks like it’s about to become public knowledge

That’s the thing, I literally can’t say m, other than fact I was assured we had a clear strategy & that it was still on, I personally took it to mean we knew the player we wanted to draft & that he was exactly what we need or that we’d get another high pick but not #4 as I was told we were cooked on that front even before then!

No not since they gave Ox the boot, vowed never again!

They can throw the name in all day long - wouldn’t be doing their job if they didn’t, he’s going NOWHERE!

He’s on the target list champ, I’m not talking about them having coffee with him like that fake post did you ignoramus! Where do you think the rumour was extricated from? I don’t keep up with fake account updates, the same acc posted the Oliver rumours, which at the time the fake account thought was genuine news!!! I’ll take an apology in 18-24mths 🤦‍♂️ you really are a vicious numpty aren’t you Dazzle… Do I need to cover off the criteria again? A fake post means any mention of a side needing a key fwd, eyeing off one of the best most (viewed as) gettable young key fwds in game — is disqualified? If he WASNT on the radar every year then our recruitment team aren’t worth Jack!!! Same for King. I think the McKay murmurings are Carlton dans preying for a massive draft bounty personally, but I can’t wait to aak today/tmrw about this no-name target, but if it ends up being someone like Hayes or CCJ I’d be a bit miffed!

Probably, but not locked yet, as they’re juggling many balls at north. Def not worth 5yrs at any sort of money. Player agent getting fellow-players to talk him up perhaps — happens ALOT!!!

Confident of one is exact same I got LW, but for me a lot depends on Brown/McDonald decisions — fact we’re talking to Larkey about 2024, not this year could mean club expects them to stay, although Brown does at least appear 50/50 at this stage. He and Grundy cash would mean we could poach anyone willing I suppose.. it’s just unusual for a specific name not to have dropped yet, whether that means they’re still playing? Or were still playing, I don’t know! Here’s to hoping they’ve pulled off a miracle, but if not some depth w/speed &/or quality kicking would be the focus.

Hearing Zac Fisher might be in the radar after some ‘player recommendation’ — I can see it from a pace perspective, would def add some outside pace to our depth pool. Key Fwd wise, still not getting any names whatsoever bandied about apart from some surmising that the obvious— but still more dream-like — candidates are Hawkins, Walker, Larkey (24-25, — Whilst other names of muted interest are Jack Hayes, Fullarton, Day, Chol, Coleman-Jones, Reid among others prev mentioned. Ruck wise it seems we’ll likely go to VFL, but why we’re not in Goldstein sweepstakes beats me, esp if he’s interested in playing behind Draper for “Success” — Got to be worth a chat surely. Love the club at least asking question if Larkey, just wish it had of come 3m earlier! Stay Tuned…

I don’t know someone, interact with many in the industry as part of my work, as I’ve reported copious times… Most of what I hear is from people at other or no specific club at all! There’s a few I know as an acquaintence, sure m! But you’ll find my history succinct on this — feel free to peruse anyone 👌🏻

Nope. Even most of those were Intended and prefaced as rumours, I just no longer get too invested in them in trying to manifest them cus I can’t help but barrack for something I’d love to come through to help our club. So the barracking has gone as has the vigour that I’ve so virally contracted from the source. So even if the source is “💯” on what ever they’re sharing — I temper that & merely report, since it gets misinterpreted which is fair. Go back 2yrs and you’ll see I preface everything with an asterisk. But I appreciate you somewhat noticing 🙏

I wasn’t referring to you mate, as referenced. But I take on the feedback all the same! I’ll be sure to follow your lead & ensure I pair more vitriolic hatred since this is what you view as valid ‘forum space’ 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 You’re part of the aggression or targeted temerity here champ, not me! The reason I preface everything is more Karen’s such as Dazzle, yet somehow even in a RUMOURS thread, it managed to be somehow misinterpreted as factual journalism. Take a breath, we should all be on same side here mate.

This guy gets it.. I also even preface every year that it’s RUMOURS. Appreciate the support & if that’s the view I’ll keep posting

Cheers redleg, posts from measured, OG’s like you mean 10X to myself personally so I appreciate that.

Not to mention I was the only one whom got to bottom of May’s issue earlier in year re his lower back. But i made that up too

I’ll try mate.. I’ll be around some people this arvo that usually have good goss 🤞 but again largely thanks to peeps like dazzle, unless it’s verified or has merit due to them being affiliated with club I won’t go near it — since my hit rate must be 100% Sam Edmunds avg hit rate according to himself is approx 5% of what he reports comes to fruition in terms of end result that’s cus he rarely predicts just reports what he hears that’s verifiable. Clubs also lie on purpose for misdirection and misinformation

Thanks chaser I left that alone cus I couldn’t be bothered.. nevermind the countless other things like Vince coming across months before end of season or Frawley leaving or countless others

And to Dazzle, by percentage by your posts is actually 20%, which is HUGE. Aren’t you known as a grump & total antagonist of epic proportions? Reviewing your posts is like a lesson in the alacrity of being apathetically exuberant, an oxymoron of terms that perhaps what explains you’re natural disposition!
